Sunday 12:30UTC switched to 10m closed but you never know. RN3F the only Rusian signal hrd at 10m in the Yuri Gargarin Cup.Then heard JA6WIF 28010 CQ 539 no takers couldn't believe it! the only DX hrd on 10 must have been long path. With the dipole not possible to be shure.

Final 105 JA's in the log that was more then expected.

Reverse beacon spots switched on. 1 CQ is enough to generate lot of spots on 10 and 15 in 1 CQ you get an instant impression of where you are heard very nice ! And no delays in CW with N1MM that's nice too something must have been changed in this N1MM version or my setup?

Surprised to hear JA's at all with this propagation but still 55x JA in 31 zones at 21MHz Saturday morning.15m open to JA 20m very poor and 10m closed. Last weekend JA's at 28 in the SP contest with good signals

The dipole again a step back against the Steppir.But this dipole is giving the maximum a dipole can do not that much less then the Steppir a…

Heard loud 579 real but needed many many calls to get in the log after hearing him working PE5T 1 Italian in between and finally he responded. I was hearing them so strong I thought to have an easy QSO after few calls.My 80m vertical seemed to be inefficient where is all power going. Also interfering the TV reception in home made it not easier. Once I could TX full power at 80M and the Sharp LCD did not change at all. It seems the Scart type connections are not HAM-grade. So yet again another TV SAT receiver is needed. ISS passed over PA0 land at 21:30 sky was mostly we went outside and saw the moving "Star" in the south passing from west to east.Heard ISS packet signal at 145.800 but was not ready to decode.It was the previous Millennium that I had Baycom running on the packet DX-cluster and had no decoding program installed. So I had to install some packet decoding program like MixW decoding packet direct from the audio card.I installed it and could dec…
